Identifying the training needs of your volunteers and your organisation to determine whether training is required and if so what is appropriate requires some thought and consideration. A good place to start is to use the Volunteering Geelong skills needs analysis tool. Further to that Volunteering Australia provide a detailed Toolkit that can assist in identifying volunteers' learning and development needs.
